Bushes with oil holes must always be MISALIGNED
with the corresponding oil holes in the output shaft.
Reduced oil pressure and gear lubrication may
result from alignment of the oil holes, which would
cause premature wear of engine and transmission
components.
When using a press, always wear overalls, eye face
and hand protection. Objects such as bearings
frequently break-up under ioad and the debris
caused during break-up may cause damage and
injury to unprotected parts of the body.
Never wear loose clothing, which could become
trapped in the press and cause crushing injury to the
hand, arms or other parts of the anatomy.
Removing the input shaft bearing from the shaft and
its housing will damage the bearing and snap ring.
Never re-use removed bearings or snap rings as
use of damaged or weakened components could
lead to engine and transmission damage. Also,
check for damage to the housing itself.
1. Position a new bearing to the housing.
